Docket

*1 Before JONES, WIENER, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Plaintiff-Appellant Brenda Powell appeals the ruling of the district court that Defendant-Appellee Stephen Ginger is entitled to qualified immunity, and thus to summary judgment dismissing this case for the absence of genuine issues of material fact regarding Officer Ginger’s application of deadly force in the shooting of Powell’s major son, Joshua Powell, during the course of Ginger’s response to a call for police assistance to deal with Joshua. We have reviewed the record on appeal, including but not limited to the briefs of the parties and *2 Case: 16-10256 Document: 00513724729 Page: 2 Date Filed: 10/19/2016

No. 16-10256

the district court’s Order of February 4, 2016 in explication of its Judgment of that date, and we are satisfied that summary judgment dismissal of this case on the basis of qualified immunity is eminently correct. For essentially the same reasons set out by the district court in its abovesaid Order, its Judgment dismissing Powell’s action is, in all respects,

AFFIRMED.
